Teenage Conceptions, Borough

<p>This dataset shows numbers and rates of Under 18 and under 16 Conceptions, including proportion leading to abortion. Data is for London Boroughs.
</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vsob1/conception-statistics--england-and-wales/index.html">The Office of National Statistics (ONS) conception statistics</a> are used to monitor progress towards the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy's target to halve England's under-18 conception rate by 2010, from a 1998 baseline.
</p>
<p>These statistics are part of a well established series, which are compiled by combining information from birth registrations and abortion notifications.
</p>
<p>Under 18 rates are per 1000 female population aged 15-17. <br />
Under 16 rates are per 1000 female population aged 13-15.<br />
Counts for City of London have been combined with those for Hackney<br />
For conceptions leading to abortions, rates based on fewer than 10 events have been suppressed. Occasionally it has been necessary to apply a secondary suppression to avoid the possibility of disclosure by differencing.<br />

</p>
<p>Miscarriages and illegal abortions are not included in the conception rates, resulting in rates that may be an under estimation.
